For more detail the VMAP based on the old 1:1,000,000 DCW seems like the way to go...if you can find it. See post here. Kind of ironic that while it's hard to find from the US you can get it from the Russians....

See also the USGS Global GIS dataset, available as a region-by-region CD set or world-wide DVD here. It does appear to include VMAP. Looks like a decent cheap way to go... it's only $149...

François - I'm guessing your data set was derived from the VMAP data and updated using 'other' sources? Sounds interesting if you can upload to your new website.

Told you I was going to upload it monday morning so there it is!

There's a lot of VMAP and it was updated in MAPublisher with ESRI's Data & Maps and Avenza's MapData World for comparison purpose. I pretty confident about the content.

It was for a project at the beginning of this year so I needed an up-to-date version. I needed Kosovo too so it's there, but I don't want to start a political debate so feel free to merge it with the rest of Serbia if you want.

Also,if you're interested, EVC has also created its own 1:1Mil vector basemap for a portion of the world. Its based mainly on Soviet 1:1Mil scale topos, which means it is several times more detailed than Vmap0, as that is based on 1:1Mil NGA ONC maps. ONC's are aeronautical charts, whereas the Soviet maps are actually ground-based topographic maps.To see coverage, pricing info, and sample data, see here:
